MUSEUM OF ORNAMENTAL ART.

The lovers of the arts of war and of peace will equally find something to suit their several tastes in a collection of arms and armour from the Royal Armoury at Windsor, which has been lent by the Queen for exhibition at the Museum of Ornamental Art at Marlborough House. The examples are miscellaneous both in date and in origin ; from a chivalric mace of the thirteenth or fourteenth century to an Indian gun of the eighteenth or nineteenth. The amount of elaboration bestowed upon them in many instances is quite surprising ; and altogether the selection is a rich, choice, and beautiful one. Several other new objects have been added since our last visit to this interesting and thriving museum.
